Exploring the Unparalleled Quality of CHO-REI-KUN HAMACHI
In my view, there's no superior yellowtail product on the market than Cho-Rei-Kun Hamachi. I consider it the most delectable fish globally, with the possible exception of Blackthroat Seaperch. It's such a standout offering that my customers often return for this delicacy alone.
It's important to recognize that not every Hamachi is of the same quality. Cho-Rei-Kun Hamachi stands out due to its natural rearing and advanced freeze-processing technology, which preserves the "just caught" freshness until the time of defrosting. This contrasts sharply with the standard fresh-flown Hamachi that takes about 36 hours to be delivered to restaurants on the West Coast, like Los Angeles, and even longer to reach inland destinations.
Key Aspects of CHO-REI-KUN HAMACHI's Distinction:
OPTIMAL FAT LEVELS
Cho-Rei-Kun Hamachi is harvested exclusively in the peak season to guarantee a high lipid content of over 30%, compared to the average 17-18% found in commonly available Hamachi.
REDUCED STRESS HARVESTING
The harvesting process can induce stress, leading to increased lactic acid in the flesh of the fish. Cho-Rei-Kun Hamachi is placed in highly oxygenated tanks for 16 hours pre-harvest to calm the fish and diminish lactic acid accumulation.
ADVANCED BLEEDING METHOD
A patented bleeding technology ensures an impressive 99% bleeding rate, which contributes to the Hamachi's pristine, white flesh.
PRE-RIGOR MORTIS FREEZING
Cho-Rei-Kun Hamachi is rapidly flash-frozen before rigor mortis can begin, at temperatures of -58F (-50C). This method is in stark contrast to standard practices that freeze Hamachi at -0.4F (-18C), resulting in less drip and enhanced flavor upon thawing.
HEALTH & SAFETY STANDARDS
Stringent safety measures include ozone sterilization, which keeps bacterial levels at a minuscule 0.3%, well below the stringent Japanese health standards. Moreover, comprehensive traceability ensures the safety and quality of the product.
EFFICIENCY IN PROCESSING
The processing of Cho-Rei-Kun Hamachi is remarkably efficient, being 10 times quicker than the processing of regular frozen Hamachi.
In essence, Cho-Rei-Kun Hamachi's quality is not an accident but the result of purposeful, innovative practices that cater to both culinary excellence and consumer safety.
I am immensely pleased and wholeheartedly proud to present the exquisite Cho-Rei-Kun Hamachi from PureFish as a premium offering to all of my esteemed clients. This delicacy is selected with the utmost care and is guaranteed to provide an unparalleled culinary experience that I am delighted to share.
